The Reverend Charles Adams died when the SS Vicksburg sank off Newfoundland in 1875. He was one of the few saloon passengers; 25 passengers were travelling steerage and there was a crew of 60. On the evening of the 31st May the Captain, finding the ship surrounded by ice, gave orders to head south but at midnight the ship struck an icefloe which holed the iron hull. Despite great efforts to save the ship, by morning the Captain had accepted the inevitable and ordered lifeboats to be lowered. The first boat capsized with charts and compass lost. Two other boats got away but Charles Adams, along with the Captain and at least 47 others, drowned in the freezing waters. Charles was memorialised on the stone marking the deaths of his mother and younger brother who had died a few months previously. This grave was J1 132 in the Anglican area of the Cemetery which is now lost. He was 39 at the time of his death.
